More importantly, this show is now devoting less and less time to language mechanics and early number skills and getting into trendier stuff that appeals to the 18 months - preschool set's fantastical side. Don't get me wrong: I LOOOOOOVE the guest stars and their 10 minute bits at the beginning, ie, Neil Patrick Harris the Shoe Fairy. But seriously, if I'm going to invest an hour of my kid's quasi-attention, I expect her to take away something other than the fact that fairies chase unicorn-hamster hybrids. Abby's Flying Fairy School is not even Muppets, it's computer animation! Get back to basics! Don't get me started on the Elmo-izing of The Street, either. The new bit called "Bert & Ernie's Big Adventure" is ok - at least the homophobia was dialed back and E&B get to co-habitate again. Geez.
